Apparently, as I scroll through my Twitter feed, ‘What I Got For Christmas’ type posts are a little controversial. Many think that ‘bragging’ about your Christmas haul is in poor taste and slightly spoilt. My opinion on the matter is; if you don’t like them… don’t read them. It’s that simple.…
“So here it is, Merry Christmas Everybody’s having fun!” Sorry, I’m a little excited. Does anyone else find Christmas Eve even more exciting than the day itself? I’ve actually finished all my wrapping, cleaning and baking with a spare five minutes to sit with a gingerbread latte and finish watching…

A few years ago on my honeymoon, I stumbled across Sephora at the Florida Mall. They had a beautiful Fresh display and I spent ages swatching and smelling all their marvellous products. When I came across all their adorable gift sets at John Lewis I couldn’t help but treat myself to…
When House of Fraser* contacted me to collaborate this Christmas, it’s safe to say I did a little happy dance and replied to that email the second it had finished; all much to my baby’s amusement. What made this opportunity even more exciting is that they wanted me to create a…
Christmas is a magical time of year, however, the endless wrapping, shopping, cleaning and hosting that goes along with it can often make us forget this. This is why I believe the gift of a relaxing night sleep cannot be overestimated! I was sent three dreamy and affordable products from Feather &…
I think it’s the finishing touches that make Christmas extra special and magical. It’s the lingering scent of cinnamon in the air, the salt dough decorations on the tree, the personalised stockings and the dusting of icing sugar on top of a mountain of festive rocky road. That’s why I couldn’t…
Running out of time to book that Christmas manicure but still want to be all polished and sparkly for the big day? Don’t worry, help is at hand. To me, a Christmas manicure must be two things: bright red and extremely sparkly. Today I’ll be looking at a few of the products…
The countdown to the big day is well and truly on! I don’t know about you but I always find the men in my family the trickiest to buy for. Of course, a selection box and a bottle of his favourite tipple may be the easiest way to go, but…
